I decided it was a great day for cooking since it's a steady rain out there. I made a large pan of chicken parmesan and whole grain pasta. Sam and her fiance decided to come down and join us for dinner also with my grandpuppies. It will be a full house here!

Hi guys. I had a day off today. I decided to go see my Mom and spend some time with her. It's getting very hard for me. She can't say what's on her mind anymore. I have to figure out what she means. It breaks my heart. She has a very sweet roommate. I did get to see my aunt (her sister) while I was there. I left there feeling very sad that I'm losing my Mom.

Hope your day was good. It's Shell"s birthday today. I know she doesn't stop in at GB's much anymore. I just wanted to wish her a very anyway.

Hi L4L. Yes, it's so hard. Especially for me because I live more than hours away from her. I can't see her as much as I want to. Hi Joe. I'm so glad you got to have your Baby with you overnight. I'm sure she misses you.
